Show HN: Velokey – One Task API for Kling, Veo, Seedance, and Sora

Velokey has launched a unified AI API platform that provides access to leading text, image, and video models—including Kling, Veo, Seedance, and Sora—through a single API key, promising cost savings of 20–80% and offering $0.5 in free credits at sign-up. The platform supports OpenAI-compatible SDKs, allowing developers to switch models by changing only the Base URL and API key, and includes features like automatic routing, failover, and usage tracking.

Keep your existing OpenAI-compatible client. Update your Base URL and API key, then choose the model you want to call.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="YOUR_VELOKEY_API_KEY", base_url="https://api.velokey.ai/v1")

response = client.chat.completions.create(model="YOUR_MODEL_ID", messages=[...])

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

If you already use an OpenAI-compatible SDK, migration starts with a Base URL and API key change.

Create an account and generate a key from the Velokey console.

Keep your existing SDK and point it to the Velokey endpoint.

-api.openai.com/v1

+api.velokey.ai/v1

Call text, image, and video models through one account and interface.

Evaluate models by capability, context, speed, billing unit, and price before adding them to your workflow.

Compare GPT models across reasoning, coding, context and cost for general intelligence tasks from prototype to production.

Understand how requests are routed, what each call costs, and what happens when an upstream route becomes unavailable.

One request, automatically routed to the faster, more stable endpoint available.

When multiple routes are available, failed requests can move to a healthy fallback route.

/ 07 - FAQ

Key details about pricing, migration, model access, reliability, and data handling on Velokey.

Velokey is a unified AI API platform for accessing leading text, image, and video models through one account, API key, and integration.

Velokey uses pay-as-you-go pricing. Language models are billed by token usage, while image and video billing units depend on the selected model. Prices are visible before you call.

If your app already uses an OpenAI-compatible SDK, migration starts by changing the Base URL and API key. You can then choose a supported model without replacing the rest of your client.

Velokey focuses on leading language, image, and video models. The model catalog shows currently available models, versions, capabilities, and pricing.

When multiple healthy routes are available and failover is enabled, Velokey can move requests to a fallback route based on availability, latency, and cost.

Velokey does not retain prompt or model-output content and does not use customer API data for training. Limited operational metadata is retained for billing, security, troubleshooting, and support.

One API, one bill, every major model.
